STEM Education (STEM)
The Department of Curriculum and Education offers a minor in STEM Education and a Certificate of Proficiency in STEM Education, both of which are open to students majoring in the STEM fields — science, technology, engineering and mathematics — and who are interested in acquiring valuable communication skills in these complex subject areas, in developing a deeper understanding of how people learn science, mathematics, and computer science, and in applying research-based strategies to engage others in understanding these subjects.
